Better Bulges! Masculine Clothing Overrides (Patreon)
Downloads
Content
Better Bulges is a set of overrides for official Maxis TS4 clothing for masculine-framed sims. These overrides aim to improve the bulges in clothing bottoms, from shorts to underwear to wetsuits and everything in-between.
I prefer realism in my game, and all bulge overrides are created with this in mind. I try to pay attention to how certain fabrics would behave, while also trying to avoid excessive texture-stretching or too much clipping from oversized meshes. Some overrides also include alterations to textures, shadow maps, or weight mapping in order to 'fix' issues included in official clothing.
The current version of the mod includes most underwear, swimwear, and Base Game clothing. I will add overrides for clothing from DLC packs over time.
Because this is a set of overrides, Better Bulges can be removed or added to your game at any time. Just drop the file in your /Mods location and you're ready to go!
BETTERBULGES IS AVAILABLE IN TWO VERSIONS:
1) BASE. Contains all overrides (currently over 130 clothing pieces from the game).
2) LITE. Contains overrides for only underwear and swim briefs.
YOU SHOULD ONLY INSTALL ONE OF THE VERSIONS IN YOUR GAME!
BE AWARE: Any clothing with an override will show a bulge on a feminine-framed sim (unless the game includes a separate female version of the clothing). Depending on the size and shape of the bulge, it can be distorted by the game's automatic clothing conversion process. If you use masculine clothing on feminine sims and this issue bothers you, I suggest you avoid this mod.
